Unknown Chinese uniface - id please
« on: August 30, 2017, 11:51:48 pm »
Help please. I can’t id this coin.  Unfortunately I am only able to search Hartil.  This is very thin and therefore it would appear to have been struck rather that cast.  0.9gr 22.4-22.7mm 0.5mm thick assume dirty copper.  Thanks

In chinese it would be "Jing Sheng Tong Bao", but it is probably vietnamese "Canh Thinh Thong Bao"

In average these coins are heavier, although not much, zeno shows examples with 1.2g

and also one with 1g

0.9g might be in the range
